Its population has held steady since 2020.

Indiana real estate documents are recorded with the elected County Recorder in the county where the property is located.

For remote online notarization (RON), e-recording eligibility means the entire transaction can stay digital: sign and notarize online with Notaron, then submit the notarized document electronically for recording — no printing, shipping, or wet-ink originals. Title companies, lenders, and signing services use this combination to close and record the same day.
